Forrest City

I didn't sleep too well last night – couldn't get the fact I'd been robbed out of my head and I eventually felt like getting up at first and having checked the weather channel for updates found that the storms were to get worse today so I decided to stay put and ride it out. I called down to the Walmart to get some food etc and whilst on the way back the sky got dark – really dark over to the south. Just as I'd got into the room the Sirens went off, I'd left the TV on in the room and there were warnings of 'imminent Tornado possible – take cover' So being good, I stood at the door to see what was happening. The wind got up but not too bad and then about 15 minutes later the message was updated to say the threat had been cancelled for the area I was in – This was about the same time as the town of Yazoo, and a huge swath of Mississippi was flattened just over the state border. The tornado had missed here by about 80 miles not far when its travelling at over 40miles an hour and flattening every thing in it's wake.
